How to Properly Care for These
Useful implements.
Watch the Bearings and Attend to
Oiling: Clover the Plow's Bright
Parts With Thick Oil or Grease—
How to Tell the Bushels of 'Grain
In a Bin—"Holding Up" Milk.
;Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
The seed drill shows the result of
neglect in a way so impressively as
to deter the owner or operator from
abusing this machine to the same ex-
tent as he may practice with the plow
or harrow. A warped seed box, or
rusty and clogged grain rune, leave
tell tale evidence over the field that
even makesthe ueglectfulman repent.
With many moving parts, the drill
requires frequent careful oiling, Disc
and double disc drills have many
more moving 'parts than . the shoe or
hoe type of drill, and with the disc
bearings subjected to dust and sand,
considerable trouble will develop if
there is any ueglect to keep the bear-
ings properly adjusted and oiled.
When once the bearings become
worn, it is impossible for the disc to
function properly and renewal of the
parts that have become worn is the
only remedy if the drill is to give
best service. All bearings should re-
ceive attention and bekeptsmooth and
free from grit. This is best done by
a frequent application of light min-
eral oil. The grain drill bearings are
not the easiest to get at; a long flexi-
ble stem oil can is generally the most
useful type of oiler.
Keep the Oil Can Constantly at Hand.
An oil can should always be with
the seed drill. The large wheels turn-
ing slowly may not need oiling more
than once each half day, but the discs
may turn 15,000 times in a day under
considerable vressure, hence the need
of frequent oiling. The seed box
mechanism turning slowly can gener-
ally be well served by oiling twice a
day. The grain drill should not be
exposed to the weather when not in
use. A canvas cover sufficiently large
to fully protect the grain box should
go with this machine for use over
night or idle periods if it is not de-
sired to move the drill back to its
proper storage in the implement shed
until the close of the seeding season.
The matter of keeping bolts tight and
everything in adjustment is just as
important with this machine ,as with
any other. If the drill gets proper
care, it will last the lifetim'e of the
operator, and the original cost of
paint will carry it througn.
When the plow is not in use its
bright surfaces should be protected
by a layer of thick mineral oil or
grease. Heavy machine oil or good
axle grease rubbed over the mould
board, share, coulter and jointer
point will save a plow from the rav-
ages of rust. The rusting of one win-
ter period may injure a plow more
than a long season's service in the
field. Rusty plows lose a lot of time
for man and team in the spring,
through delay caused by halts to
clear and scrape a mould board that
will not scour. All braces and bolts
should be kept tight, the points of
share, coulter and skimmer sharp
and of proper shape. The plow wheel
and axle should be kept well lubri-
cated and packed in such a way as
will prevent sand reaching the wear-
ing surface of wheel hub or axle. The
small wheel of a plow will turn
40,000 times in a day plowing two
acres. If the wheel is to last and do
geed ser vice, the axle should get a
Little heavy oil every hour. An oil
can holder should be attached to
tvely plow, so that the oil supply will
always be at hand and screeching
preveeted by its timely use.
Watch the Plow Point.
if the plow point becomes worn
the inclination of -the mouldboard is
clraneed; the plow tends to run on
the point, the work becomes 'heavier
on both the horses and the plowman,
and poorer work is done. The heel of
tle share wears nearly as quickly as
does the polut. With the dulling of
the heel the plow will wing over to
the land and require more exertion
on the part of both man and team.
Keep the plowshare sharp and in pro-
per form. A coat of paint applied to
the handles, beam and all ether parts
that do .not come in direct contact
with the oil will do much to keep up
appearances and prevent weathering.

Bushels of Grain in Bins.
To compute the `nutaber of bushels
in bins multiply the length by width
and depth,and divide the number ob-
tained by 1'4,. This gives the :num-
ber of bushels.
If figuring on ear corn, divide by
21/2. instead of 1 ,i, as for small grain
or shelled corn.
A common farm waggon box, 10
feet long and 3 feet wide, will hold
about 2 bushels of grain for every
inch in depth, that is, a box 18 inches
deep will hold approximately` 36
bushels.
WhenCow "Holds .Uv" Milk..
Tnesuppression of secretion of
milk is thereflex result' of irritation
of the nervous system.. Shock, chill,
fright, pain, rough milking, sensitive
teats, weaning of a calf, etc., are
some of the causes. .If possible have
the cow milked by awoman. Try the
effects of placing a young calf at her
head before starting to milk. Massage
the udder gently for a few minutes
before milking.. If the teats are ten-
der applysome melted' lard each even-
ing. An :old-fashioned ,treatment is,
to lay a sack of grain on the cow's
loins at milking timet This is expect•'
ed to detract her • attention so that
she will "let down her milk." We
cannot vouch for the efficiency of ails,
plan as we have not tried it in prat '
tice, In stubborn cases it is hest to
let a calf nurse.

Double -Ender and Driver.
In the passing of Charles Clarke at his Toronto home, the Canadian Pacific lost one of its oldest
'locomotive engineers. In the pioneer days of Canadian railroads, the late Mr. Clarke used to drive
an old wood -burning .engine known as a double -ender, and the engine on which he made his first run
asfe4neer on the Canadian Pacific is shown above. He was bowl in England 76 years ago and
railroading at the age of eighteen with the old Midland line, joining the company from whose
service he was retired about twelve years after.

low. Though he does not speak any English other
than two or three words which he picked up en -route,
he travelled alone from his home at Uscilug on the
Russia -Austrian boundary to Milwaukee, burdened only
with a small valise and a sheaf of tickets and immigra-
tion documents. Kecth Herz is his name. Orphaned by
his mother's death three years ago, he was going to
his father in Milwaukee, who had made arrangements
for his transportation.
When Kecth arrived at Warsaw he was conducted
to agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway to Antwerp.

There he was given a ticket almost as long as himself
which would carry him through to his destination.
Crossing to England he sailed on the "Metagema," be-
ing, from the time he left Warsaw, under the care of
the Canadian Pacific. The direct mileage from Mil-
waukee to Uscilug is not by any means the full mileage
of his travels. The ship's officers estimate that he ran
at least twenty miles a day over the vessel, and the
port officials had an anxious time when he made sur-
reptitious peregrinations in search of someone who
spoke his own tongue. He was glad. of course, to meet
his father, but what an adventure it is to travel tar and

The First Locomotive in America and, the Latest.
TITIS picture might almost be entitled "Ancient and
. Modern. It shows tilts "Sampson," first locomo-
tive in America which was first used at Albion mines.
in 1839, and one of the new Pacific type locomotives
which have been placed in commission by the Canadian
Pacific Railway on all main lines, and which are chiefly
responsible for this company's "on time" feature of
service. The Canadian Pacific Railway have now
definitely adopted this design for their heavy main line
service, as representing the most desirable and effie
clent locomotive for economy and reliability of service,
as this "particular' design reduces to,_a minimum, :con-
sistent with capacity, the number' of 'moving parts
which is essential for reliability of service under the
most exacting and severe conditions.
The capacity and weight of these locomotives rank
them among the biggest of their type In the world, and
the largest of this design in operation in Canada. The
haulage capacity of the 2300 series is 42,600 lbs., which
is obtained with 200 pounds boiler pressure, cylinders
25 inches in diameter, 30 inch stroke and with driving
wheels 75 inches in diameter.- The weight on the three
pairs of drivers of engine is 180,000 pounds and the
total weight of the engine and tender in working con-
dition is 495,000 pounds, the tender having a capacity of
8,000 gallons of water and 14 tons of coal.
The design of these locomotives was given very
careful study, a trial order of engines constructed in
1919 having been made, with tests under all Canadian
conditions, which fully justified all expectations for
reliability and economy of operation. The boiler has
been carefully proportioned and the inter -relation of
grate area, fire box volume, heat absorption capacity
of different lengths of tube and gas areas more care-
tully thought out than is usual in most designs, which,
coupled together with an extremely accurate distribu-
tion of steam -by an improvedtype of. Walschaert valve
gear, has given exceptional economy for a locomotive'
of this :;ze ` '`" '
